FYI: The Dobbs Ferry TeenZone has undergone some changes:

Location
The actual location is now to the immediate right of the reference desk. While this is even closer to the "dreaded" reference librarian, I and the rest of this staff hope this is ultimately a more private area away from those who are using the computers.

Fiction
There is no longer a separate paperback section; all the fiction is together. There are two exceptions: the series is still in its own section, and new books are separate, which include books that have come in to the library within the past six months.

Nonfiction
YA nonfiction is now shelved with the adult nonfiction, except for the biographies and new nonfiction.

I hope you enjoy these changes to make the TeenZone more inviting.

Dobbs Ferry Teen Advisory Group

Are you in 6-8th grade and do you want to help the library develop and run programs of interest to you and your fellow teens? Want to help the library design a teen friendly space? Want to earn community service? Then join the Dobbs Ferry Teen Advisory Group, or TAG for short. Our next meeting is tomorrow, Thursday, Nov 13. We will meet at 5:15 in the community room. Hope to see you there.

New Feature-Click on Book Cover Image

From now on, if you click on the picture of a book cover you will be directed to the libraries catalog.

By clicking the cover you are doing a search in the catalog by ISBN, so for most of the books you should only get one result. When the search is done, click on the title and it will take you to the item's page in the library catalog. From there you can read a description of the book or place a hold on it. You can also just see if the item is currently in our library.
